Guest guest Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 My mom always makes something like that, but plain vinegar -- plus the sour cream, sugar, and cucumbers. I didn't know that was considered a German recipe. Great in the summer, especially! Audrey S.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 I never knew it was German either! My mom always put mayo, vinegar, sugar, and onions in it. When I was older and out on my own, I added tomatoes. Around here they put ranch dressing in it. Im not big on the ranch dressing version. ________________________________ Audrey Snyder <AudeeBird Friday, January 2, 2009 7:37:28 AM Re: Gurkensalat (Cucumber Salad) My mom always makes something like that, but plain vinegar -- plus the sour cream, sugar, and cucumbers.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 There's a middle eastern version, too -- with yogurt instead of sour cream, and some oregano thrown in. I like red onions and tomatoes in mine, too. (but I like red onions in EVERYTHING!!) Gosh that sounds good -- I'm going to have to get a cucumber! I like ranch, but I don't think it would be good in cucumber salad, either. I guess that could make sense -- my family (both sides) is more German than anything else. Of course, reuben sandwiches, German potato salad, and beef stroganoff are the only German dishes that we routinely made. I have a recipe for portobello mushroom stroganoff that I've been meaning to try... Oh, now I'm trying to decide between mushroom stroganoff and chili -- it's supposed to be really cold here Sunday.
